Once the game is over, the king and the pawn go back into the same box. ~Italian proverb
Today I am grateful...
Today I am grateful...
- that today I do not have to push myself. I am still recovering from bronchitis and although the coughing is better, it is not gone. I will attend some workshops at the RoundUp and the play tonight. Today I know how to take care of myself--if I put sobriety first the rest falls neatly into place.
- for yesterday's gratitude meeting and feast, a long nap snuggling with Bunny, and dinner with R and J
- for the following from the 12&12 which perfectly describes, as has been my experience, the doorway we discover when enough has finally been enough. The jumping off place.
When we encountered A.A., the fallacy of our defiance was revealed. At no time had we asked what God's will was for us; instead we had been telling Him what it ought to be. No man, we saw, could believe in God and defy Him, too. Belief meant reliance, not defiance. In A.A., we saw the fruits of this belief: men and women spared from alcohol's final catastrophe. We saw them meet and transcend their other pains and trials. We saw them calmly accept impossible situations, seeking neither to run nor to recriminate. This was not only faith; it was faith that worked under all conditions. We soon concluded that whatever price in humility we must pay, we would pay. ~12 & 12, pp. 31

Hope you are feeling better soon, Scott. The picture is awesome.
I hope you feel better and that you enjoy your weekend.
I hope you feel much, much better soon. Taking a long nap with Bunny sounds like so much fun.
Hope the cough is better. Happy USA holiday - whatever it means...
lol.
Thanks for the post. Sometimes the stuff in the books is so much more powerful when someone puts it in their blog.
I'm gonna go reread that section of the 12 and 12..
Good to take care of yourself, I had to learn how to do that after getting sober.
